Hi everyone! If my main spending’s mostly via mobile contactless mode (physical spend) & on shopee/grab/lazada/online spend mainly, is UOB preferred platinum visa card ideal for me to earn miles?

I mean, since you mentioned you already got the UOB Privi and want to pool miles, then perhaps that is your best option.

​

I can suggest reasons why you may want alternatives

​

1) For sign-up rewards with new-to-bank applications

2) you want a higher monthly expenditure card like DBS Womans World (<$2000).

3) You want to have multiple credit cards for larger variety of benefits. (i.e. UOB may not have XXX promotion or YYY promotion only works with master).
4) You don't like UOB per-5$ reward batches where other cards offer per-1$ rewards.

​

Think there's no need to complicate it for now, you already have a compelling reason to stick w UOB which is points pooling.
